Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings
- 2 cups of chickpeas soaked in water for 24 hours
- 1/2 onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Handful of fresh mint
- Handful of fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon kebab seasoning (or cumin)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- A pinch of pepper
- Enough frying oil for deep-frying
Recipe 🍳
- Completely remove moisture from chickpeas soaked for 24 hours.
- Place the drained soaked chickpeas, onion, mint, parsley, and minced garlic into a blender and process just until slightly textured, not overly smooth.
- Add baking powder, all-purpose flour, kebab seasoning, salt, and pepper to the blended mixture and mix thoroughly.
- Shape the mixture into bite-sized round balls and refrigerate to firm up the shape.
- Fry the chilled balls in oil preheated to 160 degrees Celsius until golden brown on the outside and fully cooked through.
- Blend soaked chickpeas, onion, and fresh herbs in a blender.
- Mix in flour, kebab seasoning, baking powder, salt, and pepper; shape into dumplings.
- Chill in the freezer until solid, then fry in 160-degree oil until crispy.
Cooking tips 💡
- Never use boiled chickpeas when making falafel. Only raw, soaked chickpeas will hold their shape during frying and prevent crumbling.
- Freeze the shaped mixture thoroughly before frying to ensure the dumplings maintain their form and fry evenly.
